Details
I create sculptural ceramics which draw inspiration from the natural environment, especially the sea shore. I like to encourage and emphasise the random effects which are inherent in ceramic processes and materials, and which give an unpredictable and organic character to my work.
My work reflects my life long fascination with texture, pattern and contrast, and I am continually excited by the potential of different clays, processes and firings.
Gill Tennant-Eyles Ceramics
I work from my studio at home and occasionally demonstrate at local events
I came to clay later in life via thirty years as an architect. I had dallied with throwing in my twenties, but my interest in ceramics lay dormant until I rediscovered it, in my fifties, during a Foundation Diploma at Hereford College of Art. I pursued ceramics further at Wolverhampton University's School of Art and Design. Subsequently, I set up my workshop in the Welsh Marches.
